Page 2: The Islamic Calendar

�   إ   ش"ه*ر)اف�يك�ت"اب� اث*ن"اع"ش"ر" ع�ند"الل3ه� ع�د3ة"الش:ه9ور� ن3ر*ب"ع"ة=

" م�ن*ه"اأ ر*ض"" الل3ه�ي"و*م"خ"ل"ق"الس3م"او"ات�و"األ*

   " ال*م9ت3ق�ين م"ع" الل3ه" و"اع*ل"م9واأ"ن3              ك"اف3ة)   ٣٦ ﴾

 Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah's ordinance since the day when He created the heavens and the earth, of these four being sacred; that is the right reckoning; therefore be not unjust to yourselves regarding them, and fight the polytheists all together as they fight you all together; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).(36)
